The Story of
the Automaton
Putting It In Motion...
For Teachers
A larger view (209K)
During the 18th
century, people were in a state of wonder over mechanism.
The first complex machines produced by man were called "automata."
The greatest and most fascinating mechanisms were those that
could do things in imitation of living creatures. This Automaton,
known as the "Draughtsman-Writer," is one such machine.
When they donated
the Automaton to the Franklin Institute, the descendants of
John Penn Brock knew it had been ruined in a fire and hadn't
run for years. The Brock family's understanding was that the
machine was made by a French inventor named Maelzel, and that
it had been acquired in France. An Institute machinist began
tinkering with the Automaton and eventually had it functioning.
The tattered uniform
of a French soldier boy was discarded and the doll was clothed
in an 18th century woman's dress. (Today, the doll is once
again dressed in masculine clothing.) A stylographic fountain
pen replaced the original writing instrument, which may have
been either a quill or a brush. When the repairs were completed
and the driving motors were set in motion, the Automaton came
to life. It lowered its head, positioned its pen, and began
to produce elaborate sketches. Four drawings and three poems
later, in the border surrounding the final poem, the Automaton
clearly wrote, "Ecrit par L'Automate de Maillardet."
This translates to "Written by the Automaton of Maillardet."
Amazingly, the first clue of the true history and identity
of the machine had come from its own mechanical memory!
A closer look at the Ship and the Chinese structure, two drawings of the Automaton.
The Franklin Institute's
Automaton has the largest "memory" of any such machine ever
constructed—four drawings and three poems (two in French
and one in English). Maillardet achieved this by placing the
driving machinery in a large chest that forms the base of
the machine, rather than in the Automaton's body.
The memory is contained
in the "cams," or the brass disks seen below (left). As the
cams are turned by the clockwork motor, (below right) three
steel fingers follow their irregular edges. The fingers translate
the movements of the cams into side to side, front and back,
and up and down movements of the doll's writing hand through
a complex system of levers and rods that produce the markings
on paper.
Here is a larger image of the cams and the motor, as well as additional views: Angle #1 (120K) and
The role of automata
in technological progress is considerably important. Efforts
to imitate life by mechanical means fostered development of
mechanical principles, which led to the production of more
complex mechanisms. In the same way that Maillardet's Automaton
was built and programmed to delight with its poems and pictures,
so today we build and program computers to perform even more
amazing tasks. In its own time, Maillardet's Automaton was
a wonder that helped pave the way for the greater and bigger
technological wonders that amaze us today. The Automaton itself
writes (English translation):
A young child whom zeal guides,
Of your favors solicits the price,
And obtains, don't be surprised,
The gift of pleasing you, a child to these wonders.

Review: Courtney Love provides the thrills at BFD(29)
By Jim Harrington
Modern rock, by the very definition of the term, shouldn't go hand-in-hand with nostalgia.
Yet, the reality is that retro acts, ones long past their commercial heydays on the Billboard charts, are very important to the genre. Thus, legendary groups like the Cure (formed in 1976) and Depeche Mode (established 1980) remain in hot demand to headline such "new music" festivals as Southern California's Coachella and Chicago's Lollapalooza.
Keeping with that trend, the annual BFD concert, hosted by San Francisco modern rock station Live 105 on Sunday at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, was filled with several acts that should've made fans – at least those old enough – think back to days of yore.

AUSTIN -- They came in wheelchairs, ready to board their flight.
Thirty-five Central Texas World War II veterans embarked on a trip Friday to see the national memorial in Washington, D.C. created just for them.
Though many are in wheelchairs, they insisted on standing for the National Anthem, which was sung for them inside a terminal at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
Making the trip to the national memorial was Richard Overton, the oldest living veteran in Austin at 107.
"It don't excite me but I'm glad it's happening," he said.
Overton is a man of humility.
"I didn't think I'd ever be seen this much," he said.
Sailor Howard Konetchy served in the North Atlantic. His brother, Ed, took part in the Normandy invasion. At ages 86 and 87, it's a trip worth the wait.
"I'm thrilled to be going down to Washington to see this. I was down to Washington with my kids when the kids were little, but we haven't been back since," said Ed.
"It's really great to be able to do this and to see what these people are doing for all these people. I have been to the memorial before, but it's fun to go with him and to do all the things...we're looking forward to it," added Howard.
Irene Gormley served in the Navy as one of the WAVES - or Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service. She worked on planes in Pensacola.
"It was dangerous, I suppose, but we didn't feel that way. We didn't realize it in that day," she said.
Gormley is candid about this opportunity.
"This is the big one. This is wonderful. It is our last big hurrah, I think, for many of us," she said.
Sherb Smiddy served in Pearl Harbor and witnessed the destruction of the U.S.S. Arizona. He is happy to be on this trip.
"I feel that my participation is minimal compared to what so many of these men have done, facing (the) line of fire, hardship, and wounds. It's quite a privilege and I am very grateful," he said.
With a sendoff from Mayor Lee Leffingwell, and a water cannon salute, 35 members of the Greatest Generation embarked on a journey dedicated to them and their fallen brothers and sisters.
Honor Flight Austin Chairman Allen Bergeron says these trips are vitally important because the U.S. is losing its World War II vets at a rate of 600 to 800 per day.

22: Barrel - Part 3
|Barrel - Part 3
Title text: A whirlpool!
This is the third in a five-part series of comics whose parts were randomly published during the first several dozen strips. The series features a character that is not consistent with what would quickly become the xkcd stick figure style. The character is in a barrel. The full series is:
- 1: Barrel - Part 1
- 11: Barrel - Part 2
- 22: Barrel - Part 3
- 25: Barrel - Part 4
- 31: Barrel - Part 5
- This is the twenty-third comic originally posted to livejournal. The previous was 40: Light. The next was 23: T-shirts.
- [Large vortex, spinning water covers the whole panel. A boy in a floating barrel is near the edge, apparently about to be sucked in.]
- Boy: Wow!
Like the previous cartoons in this series, the theme is wonder. In a situation that would have almost all of us screaming with fear, this little boy somehow sees the grandeur and majesty before him rather than the danger.BinaryDigit (talk) 11:12, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

25% of companies are still in the early stages of compliance with the conflict mineral rules that require public disclosure on June 2, according to the latest PwC survey on where companies stand. These companies are finalizing scoping or planning and performing their reasonable country of origin inquiry, but have not yet started evaluating those responses, which is becoming the primary focus as the reporting deadline looms near. Overall, only 45% had sent an initial inquiry to more than three-quarters of their possible suppliers, and only 47% had received fully completed responses from more than half of those suppliers asked.

The latest issue of ISS Board Practices reflect incremental but meaningful changes in several key governance areas. For the first time, just slightly more than half (51%) of S&P 1500 companies have two people serving as CEO and chairman. Stark differences divide companies depending on size, as 30% of mid-caps are led by independent chairs compared to only 22% of large-cap companies. The largest companies are more likely to have lead directors, however. As a reminder that ISS policies do not always coincide with company determinations, 17% of the chairmen that companies consider to be independent are deemed "affiliated" by ISS.Read more

That is the title of a law review article by Delaware Supreme Court Justice Leo Strine. Chief Justice Strine wades into the debate taken up by Professor Lucian Bebchuk, who strongly advocates that managers who make investments be given increased shareholder power, against others who Professor Bebchuk has dubbed "insulation advocates," namely those who favor wide discretion for corporate managers in the form of boards and executives. The first part of the article presents the two starkly opposing views between the direct democracy pushed by Professor Bebchuk and those concerned that the consequences of being subject to majority shareholder whims will lead to an intense focus on the short-term that harms corporations. The article cites numerous dueling studies that attempt to prove either proposition, "[a]s may fit their shared experiences as Dungeons & Dragons aficionados, Bebchuk and his sparring partners share an affinity for exploring 'myth' and engaging in rhetorical jousts where no real world blood is shed."

He was referring to concerns regarding confidentiality, separation or employee agreements that require employees to agree that they will not report issues to a regulator in order to obtain the benefits under the contracts. His admonishment went so far as to indicate that the Commission will examine not only the companies that may have these types of agreements but will also "go after" the lawyers who prepared them, reminding people that the SEC has the power to revoke attorneys' ability to appear before the Commission and indicating that the SEC is actively looking for these types of situations. The whistleblower office continues to receive 9 to 10 tips a day.Read more

Hi All,
After almost every possible leak a toilet can have being repaired, I finally gave up because I couldn't find a proper gasket to go between the tank and bowl of this toilet that is ~30 years old.
Bought a new toilet, took the old one out, tried to put the new one in, and it wouldn't stick.. Aligned the bolt holes and set the new wax ring on the bottom of the toilet but it never makes contact with the flange.
Problem I think, is the flange is level with the tile floor, or maybe sitting underneath it by 1/4 to 1/2". When I set the toilet down and move it around I can just hear/feel it hitting the tile and not compressing the ring like it should. See pictures..
The bottom of the old toilet looks like the older ring was a LOT wider than this one, is that normal? This is the 1st time I've replaced a toilet and expected it to be easier..
Can anybody give me some advice on how to make this new toilet fit properly?
You need to fix the actual flange. It should be on top of the finished floor. Since that is impossible without replacing the floor and pipe at this point, your best option is flange extenders. Silicone them together and screw them and your existing flange tight to the subfloor. Get rid of the wax ring with the plastic horn on it too.
Flange extenders...or, stack two wax rings together. As noted, the 'proper' place for the flange is on TOP of the finished floor, anchored through it, with no gaps between the floor and the flange. A flange is normally in the 1/4" thick range (plus or minus a little). That should help you decide which extender(s) you need to raise the flange unless you go for just stacking a couple of wax rings.

I would opt for the extenders rather than double wax rings. Although that is sometimes done successfully, that much wax has a tendency to leak after a time. Just bring the level of the flange up to slightly about the level of the floor, use a regular wax ring, no plastic funnel, and you should be fine. Those plastic funnels are a joke. The usually cause problems and never fix one.
I would try the fluidmaster gasket that Terry uses. He uses it so it can be reused as he changes toilets for testing and avoid the mess of the wax but I use it because my flange is too low. I use it on 2 toilets and I haven't had a problem in 3 years using this product. They have two o-rings in the package, 1 for 3 inch and another for 4 inch waste lines.
You can see it on the home depot website under toilet maintenance & repair. You don't compress or rock the toilet because there is no wax. A very simple fix compared to working on the flange.
I can also vouch for what Gary wrote about double stacking wax eventually leaking. This is why I went to the fluidmaster - it is a plastic funnel that Gary seems to deride but it does work - at least in my situation. I also tried the one where there is very flimsy plastic with the wax - very similar to what the op shows in the picture. That one IS a joke. I tried it before the fluidmaster and it didn't work. The fluidmaster is sturdy plastic.

The problem with the horn embedded in the wax is that is it flexible, decreases the amount of wax, and it can become distorted and nearly close off the horn.

The gasket sound interesting. I will have to check that out. You could also try an extra thick wax ring (#10) - it should reach no problem. I agree about not using two rings.
Non-drying plumbers putty, grab a lb bucket and roll up some in your hand to get it good and warm and then make a donut out of it the diameter of the flange and thick enough to make the connection between the flange and the water closet.

How retro 1950's.
Hey guys, just because I was an apprentice under a plumber that learned back in the 30's and used terms like " Its colder than a well diggers hip" and such, doesn't mean it doesn't work. I have reset many water closets this way. Old man Delaney (my sponsor) hated wax rings. Heck he still preferred the old fiber rings for the wall hung water closets over the neoprene ones.
I always beleive the old ways are better than all this new stuff they keep coming out with. PVC pipe pffft... shark bite fittings, pex.. just a lot of junk I say. Good old Copper, galvinized, cast iron, and clay pipes.. Now your talking. You want to cut into a cast iron stack and isntall a clean out tee or a wye branch, do not use ferncos, get your hands on a sission fitting. Also forget about them rubber gaskets for the cast iron pipe, lead and oakum is the only way to do it right.
*chuckles* But seriously guys I do think some of the new way of doing things is not the better way. Have to get back to our roots. If we still had to wipe lead joints for water and dwv, as well as make our own dwv lead pipes like they did back then, we would still be to busy working instead of BS'ing on forums.

5 Crucial Topics To Discuss With Your Doc
It is only natural to want to get through your annual OB/GYN appointment as quickly as possible. Let's face it -- even the most uneventful visit has an awkward and uncomfortable twinge. Before you slip out of your next appointment, make sure you cover the following topics with your doctor to ensure you are getting the most out of your visit and that you're taking good care of your health.
Cover your general health bases
There are a few key health topics that you should review with your doctor -- even if you think you already know the answer. Chances are, you do. However, take a few moments to check in with your OB/GYN to find out when you need a mammogram and to go over the finer points of a breast self exam. The National Cancer Institute recommends that women in their 40s and older should get a mammogram every one to two years. However, your doctor may recommend a different timeline, depending on your family history. Also, it's good to find out if your period is normal. This is determined by discussing the length of your cycle, the heaviness of your period, cramps and other symptoms.
Talk to your doc about your sexual health
Find out if you should be vaccinated against HPV. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HPV is a common and easily spread virus that is the main cause of cervical cancer in women, which causes roughly 4,000 deaths per year. However, the HPV vaccine is not approved for use in people over the age of 26. During your appointment you should also talk to your doctor about screening, symptoms and the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.
You're having a baby
If you think there's even a miniscule chance that you might be pregnant, it's important to let your doctor know right away. If you're thinking about having a child, it is just as important to talk to your doctor. Your OB/GYN will recommend dietary changes, vitamins and regular exercises that may help you to conceive. Your doctor will likely have blood work done to test for diabetes, hepatitis, syphilis and possibly HIV. You can also begin to discuss a birth plan.
You're not having a baby
If you're not planning on having a baby anytime soon, then it's a good idea to discuss your birth control options with your doctor. Even if you're already on the pill or are using another form of birth control, take time to review all of the options with your doctor. It's likely the options (and possibly your relationship status) have changed since your last visit, and you may find there is a birth control plan that could work better for your lifestyle.

Anything on your mind -- really
Before you go to your appointment, take time to write out a list of questions or concerns that have been on your mind. Don't be shy, and don't wait until something becomes an obvious problem. Chances are that your doctor has heard questions you can't even imagine, so don't feel embarrassed to bring up any topic. Your OB/GYN wants to make sure you are in good shape and good spirits, and she will do whatever possible to guide you down a path to better health, no matter your stage of life.

Very convenient and secure garage. Pay attention to your pedestrian exit point through the building to ease your entrance on the way back.
All Good
Had to cancel the trip.
ParkWiz worked fine - we did have to call the attendant to get in - I think because we were there earlier than the time on the ticket. It didn't seem to be a problem; but it took a couple minutes to get an attendant to answer and let us out again. I'll be sure to put the extra time on the front end of our downtown visit next time.

Brooklyn Seoul Hits Williamsburg: Korean Ramen, Tacos and More
749 Metropolitan Avenue; 718-576-3050
2 comments :
Their tacos are 85% tortilla with about a index fingers width of toppings, and hints of 'panda express'. There was nothing 'korean' about these. We ordered 2 tacos, a burrito, a bao, and a bi-bim-bap and the bag weighed about 1/2 a pound. Skip this place and go to Kimchi Grill in Prospect Heights, first, or Dokebi in Williamsburg, second.ReplyDelete
Agreed on the size of some of the items. That said, I've been twice and had steamed and fried dumplings which, while not mind-blowing, didn't disappoint either. I think the real star of the menu is the pork ramen, which, once you add the complimentary kimchi and one or two of the other sauces, is really delicious. Yes, the noodles are store-bought, but for $7.99 but the broth is really rich and good. They could definitely increase the size of some of the other items. The buns in particular seem pretty skimpy for $2.99 or whatever they charge.ReplyDelete

Sunday sales of alcohol is committing acts of debauchery in the face of God. It OKs juvenile parents of precious children who spend time in bars and girls with out-of-control hormones who lie with men other than their husbands. It's mothers putting their selfish compulsion before the love of their children.
Shame on the Anniston City Council, which has gone wrong so soon. How disgusting it is for it to use obtaining money for education as an excuse to legalize debauchery and butcher the future instead of wanting our citizens to respect the Sabbath. Where is the desire to keep it holy out of decency for law and order?
Maybe there could be some intervention for hospitals to become a safety net and take Heaven's new arrivals before releasing them to single mothers who have put a boyfriend before nurturing the lives of their children.

Plan Your Jutland Vacation
Jutland (Jylland), Denmark's western peninsula, is the only part of the country naturally connected to mainland Europe; its southern boundary is the frontier with Germany. In contrast to the smooth land of Funen and Zealand, the Ice Age–chiseled peninsula is bisected at the north by the craggy Limfjord and spiked below by the Danish "mountains." Himmelbjerget, the zenith of this modest range, peaks at 438 feet. Farther south, the Yding Skovhøj plateau rises 568 feet—modest hills just about anywhere else. The windswept landscape traces the west coast north to Skagen, a luminous, dune-covered point.

A computerized tomography (CT) coronary angiogram is an imaging test to look at the arteries that supply your heart muscle with blood. Unlike a traditional coronary angiogram, CT angiograms don't use a catheter threaded through your blood vessels to your heart. Instead, a coronary CT angiogram relies on a powerful X-ray machine to produce images of your heart and heart vessels. CT angiograms don't require the recovery time needed with traditional angiograms. Coronary CT angiograms are becoming a common option for people with a variety of heart conditions.
CT angiograms will expose you to a small amount of radiation. If you have known coronary artery disease, a traditional coronary angiogram may be a better option, since you can also receive treatment for your artery blockages during a traditional coronary angiogram.

The $3K ballpark figure is for install with a 3/4" upgrade on the gas supply, as well as the vent set-up.
They're wall mounted, so you generally set them up on the foundation wall as close to where they'll vent outside as possible because the SS vent is expensive (around $80 for a 4' length of 4" if memory serves).
Maintanence is another issue, but from what I hear it isn't much more than a yearly vinegar flush, which you're "supposed" to do on tank types anyway.
Tankless have been around for many years, much like cell phones, they were originally a high end item that was too cost prohibitive for the average Joe.

Chicago Bears prepare to face 'really good' Arizona defense
The defense.
In preparing for their Sunday matchup at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, both Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith and quarterback Jay Cutler have taken note of what the Cardinals do to stop opponents.
"Aggressive bunch that has good stats to back them up," Smith said of the Cardinals.
Arizona ranks 11th in total defense, but fourth in passing yards allowed. The Cardinals' 36 sacks are tied for seventh in football, and their 22 interceptions are tops in the league.
Defensive coordinator Ray Horton's group has held elite NFL quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Matt Ryan to sub-par efforts, which is something Cutler has certainly taken notice of.
"Really good, really good," he said when asked what he's seen of Arizona. "Watching them on film, they throw a lot of different looks at you, they're not afraid to blitz you."
Cutler praised the Cardinals' secondary, linebackers and front four -- really the entire defense.
"So it's challenging, they're really good on third down and in the red zone and they force turnovers," he said. "All the things you want out of a defense."
Cutler comes into the game completing 60-percent of his passes with 17 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He's been hit a lot, though, and fumbled the ball seven times. His top target is the six-foot-four Brandon Marshall, who has already caught 107 passes for 1,398 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Marshall will be working against Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson, who is quickly gaining a reputation for being able to shut down the NFL's top wideouts. He helped to hold Lions star Calvin Johnson to a 10-catch, 121-yard effort in a 38-10 Arizona win last Sunday.
Peterson has intercepted seven passes this season, and has picked off one in each of the last four games.
"Good player, physical, really good ball skills, runs well, breaks on the ball well, tackles well," Cutler said of Peterson. "Brandon's had some big matchups this year, and this is going to be another big one for him."
Perhaps Cutler's coach put it best when he talked about Peterson's combination of size and speed to go along with quickness and a willingness to tackle.
"There's not much he can't do," he said.

HARMAN High Performance A/V's Mobile Showcase Builds On 22,000 Miles Of Dealer Support With Product Demonstrations At CEDIA 2010Presenting the latest home audio products to dealers, integrators and consumers around the country, HARMAN High Performance A/V's Mobile Showcase has served as a platform for education as it provides dealer training and hosts customer demonstrations.
ATLANTA, Georgia – Since launching at CEDIA 2009, HARMAN High Performance A/V's Mobile Showcase has been on a nationwide tour, bringing state-of-the-art product demonstrations and on-site training sessions to dealers, integrators and consumers at tradeshows, exhibitions and various dealer locations. Now, having traveled more than 22,000 miles, the Mobile Showcase is returning to Atlanta for CEDIA 2010 to highlight a series of groundbreaking product introductions from Revel, Lexicon and JBL Synthesis and also to highlight Mark Levinson's relationship with Lexus.
The Mobile Showcase was initially launched as an integral part of HARMAN's growth strategy aimed at supporting dealers around the country through local initiatives. Outfitted with the latest and most advanced products from each of the company's four high performance brands, it was designed to take product demonstrations to people that may not have a chance to see or experience the products otherwise. The 1,000-square-foot truck features both an audiophile display room and a home theater display, and educates people on a variety of HPAV products.
"Our showcase has received an overwhelmingly positive response from dealers and other attendees around the country," said Marc Kellom, Director of Marketing, HPAV. "Consumers, interior designers, architects and builders that tour the showroom are not only thrilled with the performance of the technology, but are happy to be able to learn more about the products from HPAV on-site specialists. And, of course, our dealers have been happy to receive the training sessions and increased support that comes with the truck, itself."
The audiophile room, which is the first thing seen and heard when entering the Mobile Showcase, features a 2-channel audio setup with Mark Levinson №53 Amplifiers, a Mark Levinson №326S Preamplifier and a Mark Levinson №512 CD/SACD player in combination with two Revel Ultima Salon2 speakers. The home theater room consists of a complete JBL Synthesis K2 S9900 System, including a Lexicon BD-30 blu-ray player and state-of-the-art video projection.
Visitors will have the opportunity to tour the Showcase at booth number 3972 during all show floor hours at CEDIA 2010 in Atlanta, Georgia.

(1973- )
Nancy Drolet was born in Drummondville, Quebec in 1973. She has been playing hockey for 20 years and her career has followed an impressive path. The terms "pioneering", "persevering" and "determined" very naturally come to mind when analyzing her career as a hockey player.
In short, she has won the Women's World Hockey Championships many times, the Nations Cup, as well as a silver medal at the Nagano Olympic Games.
Nancy Drolet has been a World Champion three times. She had a hat trick during Canada's conquest of the World Championship in Kitchener in 1997. Her third goal put a dramatic end to the overtime game against the United States. Drolet was also a silver medallist in softball at the Pan-American Games in 1991, in Cuba, and participated in the Canada Winter Games for hockey in 1991 and for softball in the summer of 1989.
Nancy Drolet has been a member of the National Hockey Team since 1992. She is part of the Jofa Titan Team (Repentigny, Quebec) and plays forward.
Nancy is an orthotherapist and a massage therapist in her hometown. In order to encourage girls to follow their dream of playing hockey, she founded her own hockey school in 1999. Drolet believes that in addition to technique, hockey fosters discipline and respect for others. That is why she and her teammates do not hesitate to take on the role of spokespersons for their sport during promotional activities for young girls.
With 15 Canadian Championships and two Canada Games in nine years, her record is impressive. She has won five gold medals and one silver medal in six years at international tournaments. She is also an Olympic medallist.
In her individual record, she can boast about having been named Athlete of the Year by the Canadian Sports Council in 1992 and named Outstanding Player at the Senior Canadian Championships in 1994.
For Nancy Drolet, the honours follow the accomplishments. She is an inspiring figure for today's young athletes in any sport. The success, of Nancy and the National Hockey Team, has given women's hockey its credentials, acquired at the cost of hard work.

Top 29 Cities To Live In 2009
Why you should live in Barcelona
For hundreds of years, Barcelona, capital of the autonomous region of Cataluña, had distanced itself from the rest of Spain culturally, artistically and linguistically. This sense of separatism gives Barcelona a robust international flair that's quite different from Spanish cities like Madrid and Seville that have strong Castilian identities. Geographically, Barcelona sits closer to the rest of Europe, and natives will greet you first in Catalan, switch to English, and finally address you in Spanish if they must.
Despite this upturned-nose of cultural uniqueness, Barcelona welcomes visitors with open arms. Located near the southern border of France, Cataluña borders the Mediterranean Sea, which provides a mild climate all year and a beach utopia during the summer. Beach culture is big in Barcelona, where sailboats line the docks, outdoor cafes are crammed up against the crashing waves and beach beauties promenade in bikinis. Between suntan lotion applications, catch an FC Barcelona game, where superstars compete in Spain's fierce national league.

Why you should live in Barcelona in 2009
It's full speed ahead for Cataluña's capital. When the Olympic Committee chose Barcelona to host the 1992 games, the antique metropolis underwent a modern face-lift. Since then, Barcelona's already booming tourism sector has grown steadily.
Airplane and automobile manufacturing make up most of the city's industry, while international banking and finance play a significant role as well. As the international economic downturn has gripped Spain worse than any other European country, Barcelona's economy has managed to remain relatively strong, with unemployment lower than any other major Spanish city. Even in the worst of times, Barcelona has a magnetism that would make it an ideal place to spend a few years, especially if you have the means to support yourself. Its atmosphere can be almost surreally beautiful and free-spirited, and it definitely doesn't feel like any other part of Europe. If you're in the mood to lose yourself for a while, Barcelona is an ideal destination.

The atmosphere at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison is always a wild sea of red, but it has been especially vibrant through three straight Rose Bowl seasons. After losing quarterback Russell Wilson and many other starters, the Badgers went only 8-5 last season but still made it to the Rose Bowl after an impressive final week win against #12 Nebraska. Longtime head coach Bret Bielema took off to coach Arkansas in the offseason, so Gary Andersen has been hired to replace him. Coach Andersen will have to deal with the departure of running back Montee Ball, who rushed for a ridiculous 1830 yards and 22 touchdowns last season, to the NFL. But not to worry, as senior James White and sophomore Melvin Gordon will lead what will still be a terrific rushing offense. Transfer quarterback Danny O'Brien has left after one year in Madison, so more playing time for sophomore Joel Stave. Get your tickets to all Wisconsin Badgers with Gold Coast Tickets and don't miss out on the action!
The Wisconsin Badgers' football program is based in Madison, Wisconsin. Throughout the years, Wisconsin has won 13 conference titles and is hungry for its first National Championship. Camp Randall Stadium, or simply "the Camp," is the fourth-oldest stadium in college football. It is located on the south side of one of the Midwest's most picturesque campuses, UW-Madison lined along Lake Mendota. And at an-NFL sized 80,000+ capacity, Camp Randall is a great place to see a football game. Among Wisconsin's rivals are Minnesota and Iowa; the Minnesota-Wisconsin rivalry being the most-played rivalry in the country, with over 120 games played since 1890. The Minnesota game is on November 23, but Wisconsin will face an early challenge on the conference schedule against Ohio State on September 28. Andersen could lead Wisconsin to a Rose Bowl win—something they didn't accomplish any of the last three years. Get in on the action with Gold Coast Tickets!

Unemployments connection to rising Crime
How we get these Future News Predictions
Find out how these predictions will affect you
Unemployment and crime are linked together. As unemployment rises, you will see crime also rise. (NEWS proof) Unemployment will reach unprecedented levels in the U.S. and around the World. Millions of people around the world will lose their jobs with unemployment in America exceeding 15%. One thing that will add to the rising unemployment is that not only are people getting laid off, but Baby-Boomers who are reaching retirement age will not retire. They will continue in the workforce keeping their jobs to survive. This will prevent any younger people from coming into the workforce and taking their jobs. As unemployment rises so will crime and stress. During 2009, you will see protests in cities by people who have lost their jobs. As these protests become larger and occur more often, some will turn violent. There will be many violent protests in the streets over lack of jobs. As unemployment rises, all types of crimes will also rise, starting with muggings and carjacking in the streets. Burglaries and breaking and entering will also rise, both in homes and in businesses.

Any one can guide on which chocolate spray gun to purchase?
Views: 3120
Greetings Where can we get the spray gun in the US? THanks Rick B Green Goddess Organic Chocolate
Have you figured this out yet? I'd love to know how you did!
I'm stumped, I can think of how you'd spray very light products..........isn't the over spray as much of an issue as the air pressure?
The only way I've been able to do similar was to completely coat the product in a very thin chocolate (tossing in a bowl, like you would a salad) and then sifting it out laying it on to parchment to dry. I'd love to know an easier way.
Hi Wendy,
Yes - I think I have it now. Although still working on it.
The spray gun was a total failure for the reasons given earlier. However two very good things came from it. One was that if anyone is thinking of using a standard spray gun for chocolate I'd sincerely suggest that they DON'T go there. I'm now told that if I want to use milk chocolate then that's different - should have specified that in the first place. Buy new needles and nozzels. I give up. I have no belief that that will work now. So I have blown my money.
The GOOD part is that I do have belief in the Krebs product not the least for the wonderful attitude and help from Sean from Krebs that pops up on this forum. He has good answers for chocolate spraying although I am still cautious of the air pressure. However the following seems to indicate that I won't need to spray.
(Incidentally, the overspray can be handled by spraying into a BIG BOX. Simply work within it.)
The second VERY good idea came from this forum and some others I have been chasing around with. I tempered a 50/50 mix of Sicao milk chocolate and cocoa butter and as you say, piled my strawberries into the pot. Have to work quite fast and REALLY watch the temperatures. Then pour them into a seive and let the chocolate mix drip out. (Did I say to REALLY watch the temperature?) Then pick the berries off one by one - a fast process - and place them on a special "chocolate mat" I purchased. The chocolate won't seep into the mat and the strawberries break off cleanly with almost no "foot".
When they "set" - as the mix is tempered that happens quickly - I simply take them off and pile them into the pan and start to build the chocolate up. The layer is really thin but as it's tempered it's hard and the strawberries tumble well without breaking up - although I need REAL care as once they start to break they go to pieces quickly.
This process has drastically shortened the process from a two day process to about seven hours turnaround and I am convinced that I can reduce it further. It's still not really "commercial" but a LOT better. I am about to do the same with dark and white chocolate too.
Also looking at enrobing to see if I can make it faster still but the above may not mean that I can delay purchasing the enrober (although I REALLY want it for other things too) if modifications to the above work even better.
I have this weekend installed an AMAZING "Cool Bot" - idea also from this forum - which will help me HEAPS with low temperature control (after tempering and in panning). And am waiting for my new 70Kg pan to arrive too. PLUS a new spray system for the pan. With all of these I SHOULD be able to make commercial quantities semi-automated in time for the Christmas rush.
Hello Wendy. I just read about the "CoolBot" system I am fascinated by it. Reading on their website, it helps that they are honest about where the system will NOT work and who should not buy it. Has it helped your tempering process?
As you might gather from my page I represent a company that deals with all things chocolate, save for actual provision of slabs. We also conduct workshops through ROTARY and other NGOs as part of their initiatives to generate employment amongst specific groups. Reading about "CoolBot" gave me an idea for a low-cost cooling environment that can be adapted and implemented at the grass-root level to take chocolate making to the next level.
Since we are not chocolatiers at our core, our workshops are generally catered towards the basics. However, you being a chocolatier and if you would be willing, I would be glad if you could provide an insight on your experience with this system.
Krebs 45 is the best answer. fabulous spray gun, great on thicker chocolate & fruit puree
you can buy one online www.superkleendirect.com - several to choose from but the 45 is best for thicker liquid
happy cooking!
Love my Krebs45 Spray Gun
used it for butter this weekend for a big job, croissants for 300 for Sunday brunch
fast, no waste and perfect results
